Commentary by Gabriel Harvey:

I cordially recommend to the deere Lovers of the Muses: and namely to the professed Sonnes of the same, Edmond Spencer, Richard Stanihurst, Abraham Fraunce, Thomas Watson, Samuel Daniell, Thomas Nash, and the rest: whome I affectionately thancke for their studious endevours, commendably employed in enriching, and polishing their native Tongue, never so furnished, or embellished, as of late.
